Conifers have evolved different chemical and anatomical defences against a wide range of
antagonists. Resin ducts produce, store and translocate oleoresin, a complex terpenoid …

Abstract Purpose of Review The search for causal mechanisms in fire ecology has been
slow to progress for two main reasons. First, many fire ecology investigations often occur …

Each year wildland fires kill and injure trees on millions of forested hectares globally,
affecting plant and animal biodiversity, carbon storage, hydrologic processes, and …

Longleaf pine once dominated much of the forested area of the Coastal Plain of the
southeastern United States and is a focal forest type for restoration efforts. In these forests …

Long-term trends show increased tree mortality over the last several decades, coinciding
